Adults & Seniors

We offer a variety of programs to protect, encourage independence and advocate for frail and vulnerable adults in Michigan. Our programs can assist you with independent living (home help), adult foster care and homes for the aged, adult protective services and support for those dealing with HIV/AIDS.

Adults and Seniors Program

Adult Community Placement

If you or your loved ones can no longer live independently and need licensed adult care, you may be eligible for assistance.

Adult Protective Services

Adult Protective Services investigators protect vulnerable adults from abuse, neglect and exploitation by coordinating with mental health, public health, law enforcement, the probate courts, the aging network, community groups and the general public.

Independent Living (Home Help)

The Home Help program is designed to support individuals who wish to live independently in their home rather than live in an adult foster care home, home for the aged, or nursing facility.

Aging, Community Living, and Supports Bureau (ACLS Bureau)

Bureau of Aging, Community Living, and Supports (ACLS Bureau) oversees a variety of Older Americans Act, Medicaid, and state and federally funded home and community-based service programs and facility-based long-term care activities. The ACLS Bureau also performs functions of the State Unit on Aging, policy support, program development, and grants management for a variety of programs and services.

Community Transition Services

Services are available to beneficiaries residing in a nursing facility and are offered to assist in securing housing and in facilitating a successful discharge into the community.
